Soundtrack For Aces, Vol. 1 - FULL MIX

[@SleepyJackUK]

I love that everyone just accepted Project Wingman as an Ace Combat game. They really did nail it.

[@THEBLACKPARADEable]

It was definitely worthy enough to put on my list of Favorite games.

[@galmflight2632]

more better story than ace combat 7 , if i gonna be honest, the AI was better which they DO help in killing the enemy , better destroy animation , mostly better but now the ace combat studio had bigger team , bigger budget , well i guess we see

[@thekodawolfgaming]

Wait you say that like it wouldn't be accepted as one, Warthunder can't keep up with the AC fans we needed another outlet for our bullshit. Belka did nothing wrong

[@wardog0086]

They really did. If anything, they took AC as a base and improved on it in many ways. Multiple SP weapons for a start is a game changer. It's a better game than AC7 imo, I'd even put it with the PS2 era games in terms of how good it is.

[@jomahawk7488]

It does. To me. A hell of a lot.

[@jomahawk7488]

Since mankind could first begin to think, we have had a deep fascination with exploring places we shouldn’t be. The furthest reaches and the darkest depths of the oceans. That abandoned house in the middle of the woods. The master bedroom closet in search of Christmas presents. The thing is, the place itself was usually just the foundation for our imaginations. We filled in the space with adventures of fighting monsters, finding treasure, being a hero. We just (usually) made that part up. But the sky represented the true “final frontier” of places humans were never meant to be. If we were, we would have been born with wings! Except…there’s nothing really keeping us from just making those up, too.

[@damianana]

These tracks are all phenomenal, but the ascending horn line from Agnus Dei into the chorus of Gracemaria in "Aces" has to be one of the most brilliant moments. Magical arranging.

Greetings from a fellow Lucas. I can still remember the first time I played the Ace Combat series. Probably over a decade ago now, on a Playstation that some family friends had. Woke up early in the morning during a visit, saw the cover of AC4 while looking to crush some boredom. Tango Line dragged on to no end, but it glued me to the series. I've still got the original PS2 Trinity stashed somewhere, and having a musician such as yourself doing this is spectacular. Glad to have someone else to share the passion with.

[@DonutWithMustache]

This is epic... And i can not say anything more than this because im speechless otherwise... Just wow... Edit: i think what made this video even better than all of these songs alone, is the order you put them in. You get the heroic songs first, then the more emotional ones, then at the end, you get the slow and very emotional Return to Avalon. Not only did you almost perfectly link the songs in terms of sound, but also in terms of feelings they convey. This is why i enjoyed every second of the hour i spent listening to this as i worked. Great job man, and keep up the incredible work.

[@firewolf2079]

Friend and foe. Rookie and ace. Those that fly and those that watch. As this crazy earth spirals and nations begin to fight eachother once more may god watch over the brave soldiers fighting for freedom and justice. In these trying times may wicked men and women turn from their evil ways. Many of these songs I grew up with having played Starting with AC4’s release when I was finishing elementary school. And now, 20 years later I’m living on my own watching our brave air force leave the base near my home to head overseas to the NATO flank in Europe. May they return home safe and this war end quickly

"I look up to the heavens. The higher I go, the more I wonder what mysteries lie ahead for me. Every time they just seem out of reach as my plane falls. I then ask my mentor that if he knows so much, why doesn't he tell me? He said: "That's for you to figure out. I just hope that when you do find out that I, and everyone you cared for is there to see it". After that, I soon came to the realization. I don't fly because of orders, I don't fly because I need to get the highest kill count, I don't fly because I need to beat my rival. I fly because I have to do it. Not just for my country but for everything I knew and loved. Whenever I am in the cockpit of an F-22 I just don't know but everything makes sense. It always has... Flying has been my hobby and passion since I was just a child. Since I was just a jock who entered the academy. And nothing will stop me from taking that away from me. It doesn't matter if Air Combat changes, if the Planes change, and if flying changes. What matters is that Flying has changed me"
